ROTH INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT AGREEMENT
Form 5305-RA under section 408A of the Internal Revenue Code. FORM (Rev. April 2017)
The depositor named on the application is establishing a Roth individual
retirement account (Roth IRA) under section 408A to provide for his or her
retirement and for the support of his or her beneficiaries after death.
The custodian named on the application has given the depositor the
disclosure statement required by Regulations section 1.408-6.
The depositor has assigned the custodial account the sum indicated on
the application.
The depositor and the custodian make the following agreement:
ARTICLE I
Except in the case of a qualified rollover contribution described in section
408A(e) or a recharacterized contribution described in section 408A(d)(6),
the custodian will accept only cash contributions up to $5,500 per year for
2013 through 2017. For individuals who have reached the age of 50 by the
end of the year, the contribution limit is increased to $6,500 per year for
tax years 2013 through 2017. For years after 2017, these limits will be
increased to reflect a cost-of-living adjustment, if any.
ARTICLE II
1. The annual contribution limit described in Article I is gradually reduced
to $0 for higher income levels. For a depositor who is single or treated
as a single, the annual contribution is phased out between adjusted
gross income (AGI) of $118,000 and $133,000; for a married depositor
filing jointly, between AGI of $186,000 and $196,000; and for a married
depositor filing separately, between AGI of $0 and $10,000. These
phase-out ranges are for 2017. For years after 2017, the phase-out
ranges, except for the $0 to $10,000 range, will be increased to reflect
a cost-of-living adjustment, if any. Adjusted gross income is defined in
section 408A(c)(3).
2. In the case of a joint return, the AGI limits in the preceding paragraph
apply to the combined AGI of the depositor and his or her spouse.
ARTICLE III
The depositor’s interest in the balance in the custodial account is
nonforfeitable.
ARTICLE IV
1. No part of the custodial account funds may be invested in life insurance
contracts, nor may the assets of the custodial account be commingled
with other property except in a common trust fund or common
investment fund (within the meaning of section 408(a)(5)).
2. No part of the custodial account funds may be invested in collectibles
(within the meaning of section 408(m)) except as otherwise permitted
by section 408(m)(3), which provides an exception for certain gold,
silver, and platinum coins, coins issued under the laws of any state,
and certain bullion.
ARTICLE V
1. If the depositor dies before his or her entire interest is distributed to
him or her and the depositor’s surviving spouse is not the designated
beneficiary, the remaining interest will be distributed in accordance
with paragraph (a) below or, if elected or there is no designated
beneficiary, in accordance with paragraph (b) below:
(a) The remaining interest will be distributed, starting by the end of
the calendar year following the year of the depositor’s death, over
the designated beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy as
determined in the year following the death of the depositor.
(b) The remaining interest will be distributed by the end of the calendar
year containing the fifth anniversary of the depositor’s death.
2. The minimum amount that must be distributed each year under
paragraph 1(a) above is the account value at the close of business on
December 31 of the preceding year divided by the life expectancy (in
the single life table in Regulations section 1.401(a)(9)-9) of the
designated beneficiary using the attained age of the beneficiary in the
year following the year of the depositor’s death and subtracting one
from the divisor for each subsequent year.
3. If the depositor’s surviving spouse is the designated beneficiary, such
spouse will then be treated as the depositor.
ARTICLE VI
1. The depositor agrees to provide the custodian with all information
necessary to prepare any reports required by sections 408(i) and
408A(d)(3)(E), Regulations sections 1.408-5 and 1.408-6, or other
guidance published by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
2. The custodian agrees to submit to the IRS and depositor the reports
prescribed by the IRS.
ARTICLE VII
Notwithstanding any other articles which may be added or incorporated,
the provisions of Articles I through IV and this sentence will be controlling.
Any additional articles inconsistent with section 408A, the related
regulations, and other published guidance will be invalid.
ARTICLE VIII
This agreement will be amended as necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Code, the related Regulations, and other published
guidance. Other amendments may be made with the consent of the
persons whose signatures appear on the application.
ARTICLE IX
9.01 Definitions – In this part of this agreement (Article IX), the words
“you” and “your” mean the depositor. The words “we,” “us,” and
“our” mean the custodian. The word “Code” means the Internal
Revenue Code, and “regulations” means the Treasury regulations.
9.02 Notices and Change of Address – Any required notice regarding
this Roth IRA will be considered effective when we send it to the
intended recipient at the last address that we have in our records.
Any notice to be given to us will be considered effective when we
actually receive it. You, or the intended recipient, must notify us of
any change of address.
9.03 Representations and Responsibilities – You represent and warrant
to us that any information you have given or will give us with
respect to this agreement is complete and accurate. Further, you
agree that any directions you give us or action you take will be
proper under this agreement, and that we are entitled to rely upon
any such information or directions. If we fail to receive directions
from you regarding any transaction, if we receive ambiguous
directions regarding any transaction, or if we, in good faith, believe
that any transaction requested is in dispute, we reserve the right to
take no action until further clarification acceptable to us is received
from you or the appropriate government or judicial authority. We
will not be responsible for losses of any kind that may result from
your directions to us or your actions or failures to act, and you
agree to reimburse us for any loss we may incur as a result of such
directions, actions, or failures to act. We will not be responsible for
any penalties, taxes, judgments, or expenses you incur in connection
with your Roth IRA. We have no duty to determine whether your
contributions or distributions comply with the Code, regulations,
rulings, or this agreement.
6098 / 2400R-C (Rev. 4/2020)

We may permit you to appoint, through written notice acceptable
to us, an authorized agent to act on your behalf with respect to
this agreement (e.g., attorney-in-fact, executor, administrator,
investment manager), but we have no duty to determine the
validity of such appointment or any instrument appointing such
authorized agent. We will not be responsible for losses of any kind
that may result from directions, actions, or failures to act by your
authorized agent, and you agree to reimburse us for any loss we
may incur as a result of such directions, actions, or failures to act
by your authorized agent.
You will have 60 days after you receive any documents, statements,
or other information from us to notify us in writing of any errors or
inaccuracies reflected in these documents, statements, or other
information. If you do not notify us within 60 days, the documents,
statements, or other information will be deemed correct and
accurate, and we will have no further liability or obligation for such
documents, statements, other information, or the transactions
described therein.
By performing services under this agreement we are acting as your
agent. You acknowledge and agree that nothing in this agreement
will be construed as conferring fiduciary status upon us. We will not
be required to perform any additional services unless specifically
agreed to under the terms and conditions of this agreement, or as
required under the Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder with respect to Roth IRAs. You agree to indemnify and
hold us harmless for any and all claims, actions, proceedings,
damages, judgments, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including
attorney’s fees arising from or in connection with this agreement.
To the extent written instructions or notices are required under
this agreement, we may accept or provide such information in any
other form permitted by the Code or applicable regulations
including, but not limited to, electronic communication.
9.04 Disclosure of Account Information – We may use agents and/or
subcontractors to assist in administering your Roth IRA. We may
release nonpublic personal information regarding your Roth IRA to
such providers as necessary to provide the products and services
made available under this agreement, and to evaluate our business
operations and analyze potential product, service, or process
improvements.
9.05 Service Fees – We have the right to charge an annual service fee
or other designated fees (e.g., a transfer, rollover, or termination
fee) for maintaining your Roth IRA. In addition, we have the right
to be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses, including legal
expenses, we incur in connection with the administration of your
Roth IRA. We may charge you separately for any fees or expenses,
or we may deduct the amount of the fees or expenses from the
assets in your Roth IRA at our discretion. We reserve the right to
charge any additional fee after giving you 30 days’ notice. Fees
such as subtransfer agent fees or commissions may be paid to us
by third parties for assistance in performing certain transactions
with respect to this Roth IRA.
Any brokerage commissions attributable to the assets in your Roth
IRA will be charged to your Roth IRA. You cannot reimburse your
Roth IRA for those commissions.
9.06 Investment of Amounts in the Roth IRA – You have exclusive
responsibility for and control over the investment of the assets of
your Roth IRA. All transactions will be subject to any and all
restrictions or limitations, direct or indirect, that are imposed by
our charter, articles of incorporation, or bylaws; any and all
applicable federal and state laws and regulations; the rules,
regulations, customs and usages of any exchange, market or
clearing house where the transaction is executed; our policies and
practices; and this agreement. After your death, your beneficiaries
will have the right to direct the investment of your Roth IRA assets,
subject to the same conditions that applied to you during your
lifetime under this agreement (including, without limitation,
Section 9.03 of this article). We will have no discretion to direct
any investment in your Roth IRA. We assume no responsibility for
rendering investment advice with respect to your Roth IRA, nor
will we offer any opinion or judgment to you on matters concerning
the value or suitability of any investment or proposed investment
for your Roth IRA. In the absence of instructions from you, or if
your instructions are not in a form acceptable to us, we will have
the right to hold any uninvested amounts in cash, and we will have
no responsibility to invest uninvested cash unless and until
directed by you. We will not exercise the voting rights and other
shareholder rights with respect to investments in your Roth IRA
unless you provide timely written directions acceptable to us.
You will select the investment for your Roth IRA assets from those
investments that we are authorized by our charter, articles of
incorporation, or bylaws to offer and do in fact offer for Roth IRAs
(e.g., term share accounts, passbook accounts, certificates of
deposit, money market accounts.)
9.07 Beneficiaries – If you die before you receive all of the amounts in
your Roth IRA, payments from your Roth IRA will be made to your
beneficiaries. We have no obligation to pay to your beneficiaries
until such time we are notified of your death by receiving a valid
death certificate.
You may designate one or more persons or entities as beneficiary
of your Roth IRA. This designation can only be made on a form
provided by or acceptable to us, and it will only be effective when
it is filed with us during your lifetime. Each beneficiary designation
you file with us will cancel all previous designations. The consent
of your beneficiaries will not be required for you to revoke a
beneficiary designation. If you have designated both primary and
contingent beneficiaries and no primary beneficiary survives you,
the contingent beneficiaries will acquire the designated share of
your Roth IRA. If you do not designate a beneficiary or if all of your
primary and contingent beneficiaries predecease you, your estate
will be the beneficiary.
If your surviving spouse is the designated beneficiary, your spouse
may elect to treat your Roth IRA as his or her own Roth IRA, and
would not be subject to the required minimum distribution rules.
Your surviving spouse will also be entitled to such additional
beneficiary payment options as are granted under the Code or
applicable regulations.
We may allow, if permitted by state law, an original Roth IRA
beneficiary (the beneficiary who is entitled to receive distributions
from an inherited Roth IRA at the time of your death) to name
successor beneficiaries for the inherited Roth IRA. This designation
can only be made on a form provided by or acceptable to us, and
it will only be effective when it is filed with us during the original
Roth IRA beneficiary’s lifetime. Each beneficiary designation form
that the original Roth IRA beneficiary files with us will cancel all
previous designations. The consent of a successor beneficiary will
not be required for the original Roth IRA beneficiary to revoke a
successor beneficiary designation. If the original Roth IRA
beneficiary does not designate a successor beneficiary, his or her
estate will be the successor beneficiary. In no event will the
successor beneficiary be able to extend the distribution period
beyond that required for the original Roth IRA beneficiary.
If we so choose, for any reason (e.g., due to limitations of our
charter or bylaws), we may require that a beneficiary of a deceased
Roth IRA owner take total distribution of all Roth IRA assets by
December 31 of the year following the year of death.
6098 / 2400R-C (Rev. 4/2020)

9.08 Termination of Agreement, Resignation, or Removal of Custodian –
Either party may terminate this agreement at any time by giving
written notice to the other. We can resign as custodian at any time
effective 30 days after we send written notice of our resignation to
you. Upon receipt of that notice, you must make arrangements to
transfer your Roth IRA to another financial organization. If you do
not complete a transfer of your Roth IRA within 30 days from the
date we send the notice to you, we have the right to transfer your
Roth IRA assets to a successor Roth IRA trustee or custodian that
we choose in our sole discretion, or we may pay your Roth IRA to
you in a single sum. We will not be liable for any actions or failures
to act on the part of any successor trustee or custodian, nor for
any tax consequences you may incur that result from the transfer
or distribution of your assets pursuant to this section.
If this agreement is terminated, we may charge to your Roth IRA a
reasonable amount of money that we believe is necessary to cover
any associated costs, including but not limited to one or more of
the following.
Any fees, expenses, or taxes chargeable against your Roth IRA
Any penalties or surrender charges associated with the early
withdrawal of any savings instrument or other investment in
your Roth IRA
If we are a nonbank custodian required to comply with Regulations
section 1.408-2(e) and we fail to do so or we are not keeping the
records, making the returns, or sending the statements as are
required by forms or regulations, the IRS may require us to
substitute another trustee or custodian.
We may establish a policy requiring distribution of the entire
balance of your Roth IRA to you in cash or property if the balance
of your Roth IRA drops below the minimum balance required
under the applicable investment or policy established.
9.09 Successor Custodian – If our organization changes its name,
reorganizes, merges with another organization (or comes under
the control of any federal or state agency), or if our entire
organization (or any portion that includes your Roth IRA) is bought
by another organization, that organization (or agency) will
automatically become the trustee or custodian of your Roth IRA,
but only if it is the type of organization authorized to serve as a
Roth IRA trustee or custodian.
9.10 Amendments – We have the right to amend this agreement at any
time. Any amendment we make to comply with the Code and
related regulations does not require your consent. You will be
deemed to have consented to any other amendment unless,
within 30 days from the date we send the amendment, you notify
us in writing that you do not consent.
9.11 Withdrawals or Transfers – All requests for withdrawal or transfer
will be in writing on a form provided by or acceptable to us. The
method of distribution must be specified in writing or in any other
method acceptable to us. The tax identification number of the
recipient must be provided to us before we are obligated to make
a distribution. Withdrawals will be subject to all applicable tax and
other laws and regulations, including but not limited to possible
early distribution penalty taxes, surrender charges, and withholding
requirements.
You are not required to take a distribution from your Roth IRA
during your lifetime. At your death, however, your beneficiaries
must begin taking distributions in accordance with Article V and
section 9.07 of this article. We will make no distributions to you
from your Roth IRA until you provide us with a written request for
a distribution on a form provided by or acceptable to us.
9.12 Transfers From Other Plans – We can receive amounts transferred
to this Roth IRA from the trustee or custodian of another Roth IRA
as permitted by the Code. In addition, we can accept rollovers of
eligible rollover distributions from employer-sponsored retirement
plans as permitted by the Code. We reserve the right not to accept
any transfer.
9.13 Liquidation of Assets – We have the right to liquidate assets in
your Roth IRA if necessary to make distributions or to pay fees,
expenses, taxes, penalties, or surrender charges properly
chargeable against your Roth IRA. If you fail to direct us as to
which assets to liquidate, we will decide, in our complete and sole
discretion, and you agree to not hold us liable for any adverse
consequences that result from our decision.
9.14 Restrictions on the Fund – Neither you nor any beneficiary may
sell, transfer, or pledge any interest in your Roth IRA in any manner
whatsoever, except as provided by law or this agreement.
The assets in your Roth IRA will not be responsible for the debts,
contracts, or torts of any person entitled to distributions under
this agreement.
9.15 What Law Applies – This agreement is subject to all applicable
federal and state laws and regulations. If it is necessary to apply
any state law to interpret and administer this agreement, the law
of our domicile will govern.
If any part of this agreement is held to be illegal or invalid, the
remaining parts will not be affected. Neither your nor our failure to
enforce at any time or for any period of time any of the provisions
of this agreement will be construed as a waiver of such provisions,
or your right or our right thereafter to enforce each and every such
provision.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.
PURPOSE OF FORM
Form 5305-RA is a model custodial account agreement that meets the
requirements of section 408A. However, only Articles I through VIII have
been reviewed by the IRS. A Roth individual retirement account (Roth IRA)
is established after the form is fully executed by both the individual
(depositor) and the custodian. This account must be created in the United
States for the exclusive benefit of the depositor and his or her beneficiaries.
Do not
file Form 5305-RA with the IRS. Instead, keep it with your records.
Unlike contributions to Traditional individual retirement arrangements,
contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible from the depositor’s gross
income; and distributions after five years that are made when the depositor
is 59½ years of age or older or on account of death, disability, or the
purchase of a home by a first-time homebuyer (limited to $10,000), are not
includible in gross income. For more information on Roth IRAs, including
the required disclosures the custodian must give the depositor, see Pub.
590-A, Contributions to Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), and
Pub. 590-B, Distributions from Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs).
DEFINITIONS
Custodian – The custodian must be a bank or savings and loan association,
as defined in section 408(n), or any person who has the approval of the
IRS to act as custodian.
Depositor – The depositor is the person who establishes the custodial
account.
6098 / 2400R-C (Rev. 4/2020)
Page 6 of 13
©2020 Ascensus, LLC
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
Article I – The depositor may be subject to a six percent tax on excess
contributions if (1) contributions to other individual retirement
arrangements of the depositor have been made for the same tax year,
(2) the depositor’s adjusted gross income exceeds the applicable limits in
Article II for the tax year, or (3) the depositor’s and spouse’s compensation
is less than the amount contributed by or on behalf of them for the tax
year.
Article V – This article describes how distributions will be made from the
Roth IRA after the depositor’s death. Elections made pursuant to this
article should be reviewed periodically to ensure they correspond to the
depositor’s intent. Under paragraph three of Article V, the depositor’s
spouse is treated as the owner of the Roth IRA upon the death of the
depositor, rather than as the beneficiary. If the spouse is to be treated as
the beneficiary and not the owner, an overriding provision should be
added to Article IX.
Article IX – Article IX and any that follow it may incorporate additional
provisions that are agreed to by the depositor and custodian to complete
the agreement. They may include, for example, definitions, investment
powers, voting rights, exculpatory provisions, amendment and termination,
removal of the custodian, custodian’s fees, state law requirements,
beginning date of distributions, accepting only cash, treatment of excess
contributions, prohibited transactions with the depositor, etc. Attach
additional pages if necessary.
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
RIGHT TO REVOKE YOUR ROTH IRA
You have the right to revoke your Roth IRA within seven days of the
receipt of the disclosure statement. If revoked, you are entitled to a full
return of the contribution you made to your Roth IRA. The amount
returned to you would not include an adjustment for such items as sales
commissions, administrative expenses, or fluctuation in market value.
You may make this revocation only by mailing or delivering a written
notice to the custodian at the address listed on the application.
If you send your notice by first class mail, your revocation will be deemed
mailed as of the postmark date.
If you have any questions about the procedure for revoking your Roth IRA,
please call the custodian at the telephone number listed on the application.
REQUIREMENTS OF A ROTH IRA
A. Cash Contributions
Your contribution must be in cash, unless it is a
rollover or conversion contribution.
B. Maximum Contribution – The total amount you may contribute to a
Roth IRA for any taxable year cannot exceed the lesser of 100 percent
of your compensation or $6,000 for 2019 and 2020, with possible
cost-of-living adjustments each year thereafter. If you also maintain a
Traditional IRA (i.e., an IRA subject to the limits of Internal Revenue
Code Sections (IRC Secs.) 408(a) or 408(b)), the maximum contribution
to your Roth IRAs is reduced by any contributions you make to your
Traditional IRAs. Your total annual contribution to all Roth IRAs and
Traditional IRAs cannot exceed the lesser of the dollar amounts
described above or 100 percent of your compensation.
Your Roth IRA contribution is further limited if your modified adjusted
gross income (MAGI) equals or exceeds $193,000 (for 2019) or
$196,000 (for 2020) if you are a married individual filing a joint income
tax return, or equals or exceeds $122,000 (for 2019) or $124,000 (for
2020) if you are a single individual. Married individuals filing a joint
income tax return with MAGI equaling or exceeding $203,000 (for
2019) or $206,000 (for 2020) may not fund a Roth IRA. Single individuals
with MAGI equaling or exceeding $137,000 (for 2019) or $139,000 (for
2020) may not fund a Roth IRA. Married individuals filing a separate
income tax return with MAGI equaling or exceeding $10,000 may not
fund a Roth IRA. The MAGI limits described above are subject to cost-
of-living increases for tax years beginning after 2020.
If you are married filing a joint income tax return and your MAGI is
between the applicable MAGI phase-out range for the year, your
maximum Roth IRA contribution is determined as follows. (1) Begin
with the appropriate MAGI phase-out maximum for the applicable
year and subtract your MAGI; (2) divide this total by the difference
between the phase-out range maximum and minimum; and
(3) multiply this number by the maximum allowable contribution for
the applicable year, including catch-up contributions if you are age 50
or older. For example, if you are age 30 with MAGI of $201,000, your
maximum Roth IRA contribution for 2020 is $3,000 ([$206,000 minus
$201,000] divided by $10,000 and multiplied by $6,000).
If you are single and your MAGI is between the applicable MAGI
phase-out for the year, your maximum Roth IRA contribution is
determined as follows. (1) Begin with the appropriate MAGI phase-
out maximum for the applicable year and subtract your MAGI;
(2) divide this total by the difference between the phase-out range
maximum and minimum; and (3) multiply this number by the
maximum allowable contribution for the applicable year, including
catch-up contributions if you are age 50 or older. For example, if you
are age 30 with MAGI of $127,000, your maximum Roth IRA
contribution for 2020 is $4,800 ([$139,000 minus $127,000] divided
by $15,000 and multiplied by $6,000).
C.
Contribution Eligibility –
You are eligible to make a regular contribution
to your Roth IRA, regardless of your age, if you have compensation
and your MAGI is below the maximum threshold. Your Roth IRA
contribution is not limited by your participation in an employer-
sponsored retirement plan, other than a Traditional IRA.
D. Catch-Up Contributions
If you are age 50 or older by the close of the
taxable year, you may make an additional contribution to your Roth
IRA. The maximum additional contribution is $1,000 per year.
E. Nonforfeitability
Your interest in your Roth IRA is nonforfeitable.
F. Eligible Custodians
The custodian of your Roth IRA must be a bank,
savings and loan association, credit union, or a person or entity
approved by the Secretary of the Treasury.
G.
Commingling Assets –
The assets of your Roth IRA cannot be
commingled with other property except in a common trust fund or
common investment fund.
H. Life Insurance
No portion of your Roth IRA may be invested in life
insurance contracts.

I. Collectibles
You may not invest the assets of your Roth IRA in
collectibles (within the meaning of IRC Sec. 408(m)). A collectible is
defined as any work of art, rug or antique, metal or gem, stamp or
coin, alcoholic beverage, or other tangible personal property specified
by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). However, specially minted
United States gold and silver coins, and certain state-issued coins are
permissible investments. Platinum coins and certain gold, silver,
platinum, or palladium bullion (as described in IRC Sec. 408(m)(3)) are
also permitted as Roth IRA investments.
J. Beneficiary Distributions – Upon your death, your beneficiaries are
required to take distributions according to IRC Sec. 401(a)(9) and
Treasury Regulation 1.408-8. These requirements are described below.
1. Death of Roth IRA Owner Before January 1, 2020 – Your
designated beneficiary is determined based on the beneficiaries
designated as of the date of your death, who remain your
beneficiaries as of September 30 of the year following the year of
your death. The entire amount remaining in your account will, at
the election of your designated beneficiaries, either
(a) be distributed by December 31 of the year containing the fifth
anniversary of your death, or
(b) be distributed over the remaining life expectancy of your
designated beneficiaries.
If your spouse is your sole designated beneficiary, he or she must
elect either option (a) or (b) by the earlier of December 31 of the
year containing the fifth anniversary of your death, or December 31
of the year life expectancy payments would be required to begin.
Your designated beneficiaries, other than a spouse who is the sole
designated beneficiary, must elect either option (a) or (b) by
December 31 of the year following the year of your death. If no
election is made, distribution will be calculated in accordance with
option (b). In the case of distributions under option (b),
distributions must commence by December 31 of the year
following the year of your death. Generally, if your spouse is the
designated beneficiary, distributions need not commence until
December 31 of the year you would have attained age 72 (70½ if
you would have attained 70½ before 2020), if later. If a beneficiary
other than a person or qualified trust as defined in the Treasury
Regulations is named, you will be treated as having no designated
beneficiary of your Roth IRA for purposes of determining the
distribution period. If there is no designated beneficiary of your
Roth IRA, the entire Roth IRA must be distributed by December 31
of the year containing the fifth anniversary of your death.
2. Death of Roth IRA Owner On or After January 1, 2020 – The entire
amount remaining in your account will generally be distributed by
December 31 of the year containing the tenth anniversary of your
death unless you have an eligible designated beneficiary or you
have no designated beneficiary for purposes of determining a
distribution period.
If your beneficiary is an eligible designated beneficiary, the entire
amount remaining in your account may be distributed (in
accordance with the Treasury Regulations) over the remaining life
expectancy of your eligible designated beneficiary (or over a period
not extending beyond the life expectancy of such beneficiary).
An eligible designated beneficiary is any designated beneficiary
who is
your surviving spouse,
your child who has not reached the age of majority,
disabled (A physician must determine that your impairment
can be expected to result in death or to be of long, continued,
and indefinite duration.),
an individual who is not more than 10 years younger than you, or
chronically ill (A chronically ill individual is someone who (1) is
unable to perform (without substantial assistance from another
individual) at least two activities of daily living for an indefinite
period due to a loss of functional capacity, (2) has a level of
disability similar to the level of disability described above
requiring assistance with daily living based on loss of functional
capacity, or (3) requires substantial supervision to protect the
individual from threats to health and safety due to severe
cognitive impairment.)
Note that certain trust beneficiaries (e.g., certain trusts for
disabled and chronically ill individuals) may take distribution of the
entire amount remaining in your account over the remaining life
expectancy of the trust beneficiary.
Generally, life expectancy distributions to an eligible designated
beneficiary must commence by December 31 of the year following
the year of your death. However, if your spouse is the eligible
designated beneficiary, distributions need not commence until
December 31 of the year you would have attained age 72, if later.
If your eligible designated beneficiary is your minor child, life
expectancy payments must begin by December 31 of the year
following the year of your death and continue until the child
reaches the age of majority. Once the age of majority is reached,
the beneficiary will have 10 years to deplete the account.
If a beneficiary other than a person (e.g., your estate, a charity, or
a certain type of trust) is named, you will be treated as having no
designated beneficiary of your Roth IRA for purposes of
determining the distribution period. If there is no designated
beneficiary of your Roth IRA, the entire Roth IRA must be
distributed by December 31 of the year containing the fifth
anniversary of your death.
A spouse who is the sole designated beneficiary of your entire Roth
IRA will be deemed to elect to treat your Roth IRA as his or her own
by either (1) making contributions to your Roth IRA or (2) failing to
timely remove a required minimum distribution from your Roth IRA.
Regardless of whether or not the spouse is the sole designated
beneficiary of your Roth IRA, a spouse beneficiary may roll over his or
her share of the assets to his or her own Roth IRA.
If we so choose, for any reason (e.g., due to limitations of our charter
or bylaws), we may require that a beneficiary of a deceased Roth IRA
owner take total distribution of all Roth IRA assets by December 31 of
the year following the year of death.
If your beneficiary fails to remove a required minimum distribution
after your death, an additional penalty tax of 50 percent is imposed
on the amount of the required minimum distribution that should have
been taken but was not. Your beneficiary must file IRS Form 5329
along with his or her income tax return to report and remit any
additional taxes to the IRS.
K. Waiver of 2020 RMD – In spite of the general rules described above,
no beneficiary life expectancy payments are required for calendar year
2020. In addition, if the five-year rule applies to a Roth IRA with respect
to any decedent, the five-year period is determined without regard to
calendar year 2020. For example, if a Roth IRA owner died in 2017, the
beneficiary’s five-year period ends in 2023 instead of 2022.
INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ESTABLISHING A ROTH IRA
A. Contributions Not Deducted
No deduction is allowed for Roth IRA
contributions, including transfers, rollovers, and conversion contributions.
B. Contribution Deadline
The deadline for making a Roth IRA
contribution is your tax return due date (not including extensions).
You may designate a contribution as a contribution for the preceding
taxable year in a manner acceptable to us. For example, if you are a
Page 8 of 13
6098 / 2400R-C (Rev. 4/2020) ©2020 Ascensus, LLC
calendar-year taxpayer and you make your Roth IRA contribution on
or before your tax filing deadline, your contribution is considered to
have been made for the previous tax year if you designate it as such.
If you are a member of the Armed Forces serving in a combat zone,
hazardous duty area, or contingency operation, you may have an
extended contribution deadline of 180 days after the last day served
in the area. In addition, your contribution deadline for a particular tax
year is also extended by the number of days that remained to file that
year’s tax return as of the date you entered the combat zone. This
additional extension to make your Roth IRA contribution cannot
exceed the number of days between January 1 and your tax filing
deadline, not including extensions.
C. Tax Credit for Contributions
You may be eligible to receive a tax
credit for your Roth IRA contributions. This credit may not exceed
$1,000 in a given year. You may be eligible for this tax credit if you are
age 18 or older as of the close of the taxable year,
not a dependent of another taxpayer, and
not a full-time student.
The credit is based upon your income (see chart below), and will range
from 0 to 50 percent of eligible contributions. In order to determine
the amount of your contributions, add all of the contributions made to
your Roth IRA and reduce these contributions by any distributions that
you have taken during the testing period. The testing period begins
two years prior to the year for which the credit is sought and ends on
the tax return due date (including extensions) for the year for which
the credit is sought. In order to determine your tax credit, multiply the
applicable percentage from the chart below by the amount of your
contributions that do not exceed $2,000.

*Adjusted gross income (AGI) includes foreign earned income and

Rico. AGI limits are subject to cost-of-living adjustments each year.
D. Excess Contributions
An excess contribution is any amount that is
contributed to your Roth IRA that exceeds the amount that you are
eligible to contribute. If the excess is not corrected timely, an
additional penalty tax of six percent will be imposed upon the excess
amount. The procedure for correcting an excess is determined by the
timeliness of the correction as identified below.
1. Removal Before Your Tax Filing Deadline. An excess contribution
may be corrected by withdrawing the excess amount, along with the
earnings attributable to the excess, before your tax filing deadline,
including extensions, for the year for which the excess contribution
was made. An excess withdrawn under this method is not taxable to
you, but you must include the earnings attributable to the excess in
your taxable income in the year in which the contribution was made.
The six percent excess contribution penalty tax will be avoided.
2. Removal After Your Tax Filing Deadline. If you are correcting an
excess contribution after your tax filing deadline, including
extensions, remove only the amount of the excess contribution.
The six percent excess contribution penalty tax will be imposed on
the excess contribution for each year it remains in the Roth IRA. An
excess withdrawal under this method is not taxable to you.
3. Carry Forward to a Subsequent Year. If you do not withdraw the
excess contribution, you may carry forward the contribution for a
subsequent tax year. To do so, you under-contribute for that tax
year and carry the excess contribution amount forward to that
year on your tax return. The six percent excess contribution
penalty tax will be imposed on the excess amount for each year
that it remains as an excess contribution at the end of the year.
You must file IRS Form 5329 along with your income tax return to
report and remit any additional taxes to the IRS.
E. Tax-Deferred Earnings
The investment earnings of your Roth IRA
are not subject to federal income tax as they accumulate in your Roth
IRA. In addition, distributions of your Roth IRA earnings will be free
from federal income tax if you take a qualified distribution, as
described below.
F.
Taxation of Distributions
The taxation of Roth IRA distributions
depends on whether the distribution is a qualified distribution or a
nonqualified distribution.
1. Qualified Distributions. Qualified distributions from your Roth IRA
(both the contributions and earnings) are not included in your
income. A qualified distribution is a distribution that is made after
the expiration of the five-year period beginning January 1 of the
first year for which you made a contribution to any Roth IRA
(including a conversion from a Traditional IRA), and is made on
account of one of the following events.
Attainment of age 59½
Disability
First-time homebuyer purchase
Death
For example, if you made a contribution to your Roth IRA for 2015,
the five-year period for determining whether a distribution is a
qualified distribution is satisfied as of January 1, 2020.
2. Nonqualified Distributions. If you do not meet the requirements
for a qualified distribution, any earnings you withdraw from your
Roth IRA will be included in your gross income and, if you are
under age 59½, may be subject to an early distribution penalty tax.
However, when you take a distribution, the amounts you
contributed annually to any Roth IRA and any military death
gratuity or Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI) payments
that you rolled over to a Roth IRA, will be deemed to be removed
first, followed by conversion and employer-sponsored retirement
plan rollover contributions made to any Roth IRA on a first-in, first-
out basis. Therefore, your nonqualified distributions will not be
taxable to you until your withdrawals exceed the amount of your
annual contributions, rollovers of your military death gratuity or
SGLI payments, and your conversions and employer-sponsored
retirement plan rollovers.
G.
Income Tax Withholding
Any nonqualified withdrawal of earnings
from your Roth IRA may be subject to federal income tax withholding.
You may, however, elect not to have withholding apply to your Roth
IRA withdrawal. If withholding is applied to your withdrawal, not less
than 10 percent of the amount withdrawn must be withheld.
H.
Early Distribution Penalty Tax
If you are under age 59½ and receive a
nonqualified Roth IRA distribution, an additional early distribution
penalty tax of 10 percent generally will apply to the amount includible
in income in the year of the distribution. If you are under age 59½ and
Page 9 of 13
6098 / 2400R-C (Rev. 4/2020) ©2020 Ascensus, LLC
receive a distribution of conversion amounts or employer-sponsored
retirement plan rollover amounts within the five-year period beginning
with the year in which the conversion or employer-sponsored
retirement plan rollover occurred, an additional early distribution
penalty tax of 10 percent generally will apply to the amount of the
distribution. The additional early distribution penalty tax of 10 percent
generally will not apply if one of the following exceptions apply.
1) Death. After your death, payments made to your beneficiary are not
subject to the 10 percent early distribution penalty tax. 2) Disability. If
you are disabled at the time of distribution, you are not subject to the
additional 10 percent early distribution penalty tax. In order to be
disabled, a physician must determine that your impairment can be
expected to result in death or to be of long, continued, and indefinite
duration. 3) Substantially equal periodic payments. You are not
subject to the additional 10 percent early distribution penalty tax if
you are taking a series of substantially equal periodic payments (at
least annual payments) over your life expectancy or the joint life
expectancy of you and your beneficiary. You must continue these
payments for the longer of five years or until you reach age 59½.
4) Unreimbursed medical expenses. If you take payments to pay for
unreimbursed medical expenses that exceed a specified percentage of
your adjusted gross income, you will not be subject to the 10 percent
early distribution penalty tax. For further detailed information and
effective dates you may obtain IRS Publication 590-B, Distributions
from Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), from the IRS. The
medical expenses may be for you, your spouse, or any dependent
listed on your tax return.
5) Health insurance premiums. If you are
unemployed and have received unemployment compensation for
12 consecutive weeks under a federal or state program, you may take
payments from your Roth IRA to pay for health insurance premiums
without incurring the 10 percent early distribution penalty tax.
6) Higher education expenses. Payments taken for certain qualified
higher education expenses for you, your spouse, or the children or
grandchildren of you or your spouse, will not be subject to the
10 percent early distribution penalty tax. 7) First-time homebuyer.
You may take payments from your Roth IRA to use toward qualified
acquisition costs of buying or building a principal residence. The
amount you may take for this reason may not exceed a lifetime
maximum of $10,000. The payment must be used for qualified
acquisition costs within 120 days of receiving the distribution. 8) IRS
levy. Payments from your Roth IRA made to the U.S. government in
response to a federal tax levy are not subject to the 10 percent early
distribution penalty tax. 9) Qualified reservist distributions. If you are
a qualified reservist member called to active duty for more than
179 days or an indefinite period, the payments you take from your
Roth IRA during the active duty period are not subject to the 10 percent
early distribution penalty tax. 10) Qualified birth or adoption.
Payments from your Roth IRA for the birth of your child or the adoption
of an eligible adoptee will not be subject to the 10 percent early
distribution penalty tax if the distribution is taken during the one-year
period beginning on the date of birth of your child or the date on
which your legal adoption of an eligible adoptee is finalized. An eligible
adoptee means any individual (other than your spouse’s child) who
has not attained age 18 or is physically or mentally incapable of self-
support. The aggregate amount you may take for this reason may not
exceed $5,000 for each birth or adoption.
You must file IRS Form 5329 along with your income tax return to the
IRS to report and remit any additional taxes or to claim a penalty tax
exception.
I. Required Minimum Distributions
You are not required to take
distributions from your Roth IRA during your lifetime (as required for
Traditional and savings incentive match plan for employees of small
employers (SIMPLE) IRAs). However, your beneficiaries generally are
required to take distributions from your Roth IRA after your death.
See the section titled Beneficiary Payouts in this disclosure statement
regarding beneficiaries’ required minimum distributions.
J. Rollovers and Conversions
Your Roth IRA may be rolled over to
another Roth IRA of yours, may receive rollover contributions, or may
receive conversion contributions, provided that all of the applicable
rollover or conversion rules are followed. Rollover is a term used to
describe a movement of cash or other property to your Roth IRA from
another Roth IRA, or from your employer’s qualified retirement plan,
403(a) annuity, 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity, 457(b) eligible
governmental deferred compensation plan, or federal Thrift Savings
Plan. Conversion is a term used to describe the movement of
Traditional IRA or SIMPLE IRA assets to a Roth IRA. A conversion
generally is a taxable event. The general rollover and conversion rules
are summarized below. These transactions are often complex. If you
have any questions regarding a rollover or conversion, please see a
competent tax advisor.
1. Roth IRA-to-Roth IRA Rollovers. Assets distributed from your Roth
IRA may be rolled over to the same Roth IRA or another Roth IRA of
yours if the requirements of IRC Sec. 408(d)(3) are met. A proper
Roth IRA-to-Roth IRA rollover is completed if all or part of the
distribution is rolled over not later than 60 days after the distribution
is received. In the case of a distribution for a first-time homebuyer
where there was a delay or cancellation of the purchase, the 60-day
rollover period may be extended to 120 days. Roth IRA assets may
not be rolled over to other types of IRAs (e.g., Traditional IRA,
SIMPLE IRA), or employer-sponsored retirement plans.
You are permitted to roll over only one distribution from an IRA
(Traditional, Roth, or SIMPLE) in a 12-month period, regardless of
the number of IRAs you own. A distribution may be rolled over to
the same IRA or to another IRA that is eligible to receive the
rollover. For more information on rollover limitations, you may
wish to obtain IRS Publication 590-B, Distributions from Individual
Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), from the IRS or refer to the IRS
website at www.irs.gov.
2. Traditional IRA-to-Roth IRA Conversions. If you convert to a Roth
IRA, the amount of the conversion from your Traditional IRA to
your Roth IRA will be treated as a distribution for income tax
purposes, and is includible in your gross income (except for any
nondeductible contributions). Although the conversion amount
generally is included in income, the 10 percent early distribution
penalty tax will not apply to conversions from a Traditional IRA to
a Roth IRA, regardless of whether you qualify for any exceptions to
the 10 percent early distribution penalty tax. If you are required to
take a required minimum distribution for the year, you must
remove your required minimum distribution before converting
your Traditional IRA.
3. SIMPLE IRA-to-Roth IRA Conversions. You are eligible to convert
all or any portion of your existing SIMPLE IRA into your Roth IRA,
provided two years have passed since you first participated in a
SIMPLE IRA plan sponsored by your employer. The amount of the
conversion from your SIMPLE IRA to your Roth IRA will be treated
as a distribution for income tax purposes and is includible in your
gross income. Although the conversion amount generally is
included in income, the 10 percent early distribution penalty tax
will not apply to conversions from a SIMPLE IRA to a Roth IRA,
regardless of whether you qualify for any exceptions to the
10 percent early distribution penalty tax. If you are required to
take a required minimum distribution for the year, you must
remove your required minimum distribution before converting
your SIMPLE IRA.

6098 / 2400R-C (Rev. 4/2020) ©2020 Ascensus, LLC
4. Rollovers of Roth Elective Deferrals. Roth elective deferrals
distributed from a 401(k) cash or deferred arrangement, 403(b)
tax-sheltered annuity, 457(b) eligible governmental deferred
compensation plan, or federal Thrift Savings Plan, may be rolled
into your Roth IRA.
5. Employer-Sponsored Retirement
Plan-to-Roth
IRA Rollovers. You
may roll over, directly or indirectly, any eligible rollover distribution
from an eligible employer-sponsored retirement plan to your Roth
IRA. An eligible rollover distribution is defined generally as any
distribution from a qualified retirement plan, 403(a) annuity, 403(b)
tax-sheltered annuity, 457(b) eligible governmental deferred
compensation plan, or federal Thrift Savings Plan unless it is a
required minimum distribution, hardship distribution, part of a
certain series of substantially equal periodic payments, corrective
distributions of excess contributions, excess deferrals, excess
annual additions and any income allocable to the excess, deemed
loan distribution, dividends on employer securities, or the cost of
life insurance coverage.
If you are conducting an indirect rollover, your eligible rollover
distribution generally must be rolled over to your Roth IRA not later
than 60 days after you receive the distribution. In the case of a plan
loan offset due to plan termination or severance from employment,
the deadline for completing the rollover is your tax return due date
(including extensions) for the year in which the offset occurs.
If you are a spouse or nonspouse beneficiary of a deceased
employer-sponsored retirement plan participant, or the trustee of
an eligible type of trust named as beneficiary of such participant,
you may directly roll over inherited assets from a qualified
retirement plan, 403(a) annuity, 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity, or
457(b) eligible governmental deferred compensation plan to an
inherited Roth IRA, as permitted by the IRS. The Roth IRA must be
maintained as an inherited Roth IRA, subject to the beneficiary
distribution requirements.
Although the rollover amount generally is included in income, the
10 percent early distribution penalty tax will not apply to rollovers
from eligible employer-sponsored retirement plans to a Roth IRA
or inherited Roth IRA, regardless of whether you qualify for any
exceptions to the 10 percent early distribution penalty tax.
6. Beneficiary Rollovers From 401(k), 403(b), or 457(b) Eligible
Governmental Plans Containing Roth Elective Deferrals. If you are
a spouse beneficiary, nonspouse beneficiary, or the trustee of an
eligible type of trust named as beneficiary of a deceased 401(k),
403(b), or 457(b) eligible governmental deferred compensation
plan participant who had made Roth elective deferrals to the plan,
you may directly roll over the Roth elective deferrals and their
earnings to an inherited Roth IRA, as permitted by the IRS. The
Roth IRA must be maintained as an inherited Roth IRA, subject to
the beneficiary distribution requirements.
7. Rollovers of Military Death Benefits. If you receive or have
received a military death gratuity or a payment from the SGLI
program, you may be able to roll over the proceeds to your Roth
IRA. The rollover contribution amount is limited to the sum of the
death benefits or SGLI payment received, less any such amount
that was rolled over to a Coverdell education savings account.
Proceeds must be rolled over within one year of receipt of the
gratuity or SGLI payment for deaths occurring on or after June 17,
2008. Any amount that is rolled over under this provision is
considered nontaxable basis in your Roth IRA.
8. Qualified HSA Funding Distribution. If you are eligible to contribute
to a health savings account (HSA), you may be eligible to take a
one-time tax-free qualified HSA funding distribution from your
Roth IRA and directly deposit it to your HSA. The amount of the
qualified HSA funding distribution may not exceed the maximum
HSA contribution limit in effect for the type of high deductible
health plan coverage (i.e., single or family coverage) that you have
at the time of the deposit, and counts toward your HSA contribution
limit for that year. For further detailed information, you may wish
to obtain IRS Publication 969, Health Savings Accounts and Other
Tax-Favored Health Plans.
9. Rollovers of Settlement Payments From Bankrupt Airlines. If
you are a qualified airline employee who has received a qualified
airline settlement payment from a commercial airline carrier
under the approval of an order of a federal bankruptcy court in a
case filed after September 11, 2001, and before January 1, 2007,
you are allowed to roll over any portion of the proceeds into
your Roth IRA within 180 days after receipt of such amount, or by
a later date if extended by federal law. For further detailed
information and effective dates you may obtain IRS Publication
590-A, Contributions to Individual Retirement Arrangements
(IRAs), from the IRS or refer to the IRS website at www.irs.gov.
10. Rollovers of Exxon Valdez Settlement Payments. If you receive a
qualified settlement payment from Exxon Valdez litigation, you
may roll over the amount of the settlement, up to $100,000,
reduced by the amount of any qualified Exxon Valdez settlement
income previously contributed to a Traditional or Roth IRA or
eligible retirement plan in prior taxable years. You will have until
your tax return due date (not including extensions) for the year in
which the qualified settlement income is received to make the
rollover contribution. To obtain more information on this type of
rollover, you may wish to visit the IRS website at www.irs.gov.
11. Rollover of IRS Levy. If you receive a refund of eligible retirement
plan assets that had been wrongfully levied, you may roll over the
amount returned up until your tax return due date (not including
extensions) for the year in which the money was returned.
12. Repayment of Qualified Birth or Adoption Distribution. If you
have taken a qualified birth or adoption distribution, you may
generally repay all or a portion of the aggregate amount of such
distribution to a Roth IRA, as permitted by the IRS. For further
information, you may wish to obtain IRS Publication 590-A,
Contributions to Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), by
visiting www.irs.gov on the Internet.
13. Written Election. At the time you make a rollover or conversion to
a Roth IRA, you must designate in writing to the custodian your
election to treat that contribution as a rollover or conversion.
Once made, the election is irrevocable.
K. Transfer Due to Divorce
If all or any part of your Roth IRA is awarded
to your spouse or former spouse in a divorce or legal separation
proceeding, the amount so awarded will be treated as the spouse’s
Roth IRA (and may be transferred pursuant to a court-approved
divorce decree or written legal separation agreement to another Roth
IRA of your spouse), and will not be considered a taxable distribution
to you. A transfer is a tax-free direct movement of cash and/or
property from one Roth IRA to another.
L. Recharacterizations
If you make a contribution to a Traditional IRA
and later recharacterize either all or a portion of the original
contribution to a Roth IRA along with net income attributable, you may
elect to treat the original contribution as having been made to the
Roth IRA. The same methodology applies when recharacterizing a
contribution from a Roth IRA to a Traditional IRA. The deadline for
completing a recharacterization is your tax filing deadline (including
any extensions) for the year for which the original contribution was
made. You may not recharacterize a Roth IRA conversion or an

LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
A. Spousal Roth IRA
If you are married and have compensation, you
may contribute to a Roth IRA established for the benefit of your
spouse, regardless of whether or not your spouse has compensation.
You must file a joint income tax return for the year for which the
contribution is made.
The amount you may contribute to your Roth IRA and your spouse’s
Roth IRA is the lesser of 100 percent of your combined eligible
compensation or $12,000 for 2019 and 2020. This amount may be
increased with cost-of-living adjustments each year. However, you
may not contribute more than the individual contribution limit to
each Roth IRA. Your contribution may be further limited if your MAGI
falls within the minimum and maximum thresholds.
If your spouse is age 50 or older by the close of the taxable year, and
is otherwise eligible, you may make an additional contribution to your
spouse’s Roth IRA. The maximum additional contribution is $1,000
per year.
B. Gift Tax
Transfers of your Roth IRA assets to a beneficiary made
during your life and at your request may be subject to federal gift tax
under IRC Sec. 2501.
C. Special Tax Treatment
Capital gains treatment and 10-year income
averaging authorized by IRC Sec. 402 do not apply to Roth IRA
distributions.
D. Prohibited Transactions
If you or your beneficiary engage in a
prohibited transaction with your Roth IRA, as described in IRC Sec.
4975, your Roth IRA will lose its tax-deferred or tax-exempt status,
and you generally must include the value of the earnings in your
account in your gross income for that taxable year. The following
transactions are examples of prohibited transactions with your Roth
IRA. (1) Taking a loan from your Roth IRA (2) Buying property for
personal use (present or future) with Roth IRA assets (3) Receiving
certain bonuses or premiums because of your Roth IRA.
E. Pledging
If you pledge any portion of your Roth IRA as collateral for
a loan, the amount so pledged will be treated as a distribution and
may be included in your gross income for that year.
OTHER
A. IRS Plan Approval
Articles I through VIII of the agreement used to
establish this Roth IRA have been approved by the IRS. The IRS
approval is a determination only as to form. It is not an endorsement
of the plan in operation or of the investments offered.
B. Additional Information
For further information on Roth IRAs, you
may wish to obtain IRS Publication 590-A, Contributions to Individual
Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), or Publication 590-B, Distributions
from Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), by calling 800-TAX-
FORM, or by visiting www.irs.gov on the Internet.
C.
Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Account –
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money
laundering activities, federal law requires all financial organizations to
obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who
opens an account. Therefore, when you open a Roth IRA, you are
required to provide your name, residential address, date of birth, and
identification number. We may require other information that will
allow us to identify you.
D. Qualified Reservist Distributions
If you are an eligible qualified
reservist who has taken penalty-free qualified reservist distributions
from your Roth IRA or retirement plan, you may recontribute those
amounts to a Roth IRA generally within a two-year period from your
date of return.
E. Qualified Charitable Distributions
If you are age 70½ or older, you
may be eligible to take tax-free Roth IRA distributions of up to $100,000
per year and have these distributions paid directly to certain charitable
organizations. Special tax rules may apply. For further detailed
information and effective dates you may obtain IRS Publication 590-B,
Distributions from Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), from
the IRS or refer to the IRS website at www.irs.gov.
F. Disaster Related Relief
If you qualify (for example, you sustained an
economic loss due to, or are otherwise considered affected by, certain
disasters designated by Congress), you may be eligible for favorable
tax treatment on distributions, rollovers, and other transactions
involving your Roth IRA. Qualified disaster relief may include penalty-
tax free early distributions made during specified timeframes for each
disaster, the ability to include distributions in your gross income
ratably over multiple years, the ability to roll over distributions to an
eligible retirement plan without regard to the 60-day rollover rule,
and more. For additional information on specific disasters, including a
complete listing of disaster areas, qualification requirements for
relief, and allowable disaster-related Roth IRA transactions, you may
wish to obtain IRS Publication 590-B, Distributions from Individual
Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), from the IRS or refer to the IRS
website at www.irs.gov.
G. Coronavirus-Related Distributions (CRDs) – If you qualify, you may
withdraw up to $100,000 in aggregate from your IRAs and eligible
retirement plans as a CRD, without paying the 10 percent early
distribution penalty tax. You are a qualified individual if you (or your
spouse or dependent) is diagnosed with the COVID-19 disease or the
SARS-CoV-2 virus in an approved test; or if you have experienced
adverse financial consequences as a result of being quarantined, being
furloughed or laid off or having work hours reduced due to such virus
or disease, being unable to work due to lack of child care due to such
virus or disease, closing or reduced hours of a business owned or
operated by you due to such virus or disease, or other factors as
determined by the IRS. A CRD must be made on or after January 1,
2020, and before December 31, 2020.
CRDs will be taxed ratably over a three-year period, unless you elect
otherwise, and may be repaid over three years beginning with the day
following the day a CRD is made. Repayments may be made to an
eligible retirement plan or IRA.
An eligible retirement plan is defined as a qualified retirement plan,
403(a) annuity, 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity, 457(b) eligible
governmental deferred compensation plan, or an IRA.

IRA
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
The term IRA will be used below to mean Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, and SIMPLE IRA, unless otherwise specified.
The financial organization should complete the financial disclosure using Method I, Method II, or Method III.
If the growth of the IRA can reasonably be
projected, use either Method I or Method II. The account values projected using Method I or Method II must be reduced by all applicable fees and penalties. If
annual fees are assessed, such as an annual service fee, use Method II. If no projection of growth of the IRA can reasonably be shown, use Method III.
METHOD I Growth can be projected (Do not use Method I if an annual fee is charged. Instead, use Method II for financial projections.)
Your Age on Your Birth Date This Year Length of Time Deposit (If applicable)
The charts below give projections of the value of your IRA by showing the amount available at the end of each year. These projections assume an
interest rate of .25%, compounded annually. If you have invested your IRA in a time deposit, a loss-of-earnings penalty may be charged against a
withdrawal before maturity. A transaction fee may also apply to your IRA.
The Regular Contribution chart assumes that an annual contribution of $1,000 is made on the first day of each year. The Rollover, Transfer, or Conversion*
chart assumes that a one-time deposit of $1,000 is made on the first day of the first year.
Indicate the projected account value for each of the years, taking into consideration any applicable loss of earnings penalty or other fees assessed if
the IRA owner received a distribution at the end of the year for which the projection is being made. First, circle the year-end projected IRA value that
is applicable for each of the first five years. Next, circle the applicable IRA value for the years in which the IRA owner will attain ages 60, 65, and 70.
